It will prevent almost all current from flowing the circuit, since a voltmeter has a very high electrical resistance. Only ammeters (or milliammeters) should be wired in series between a power source and its load.

No. Voltmeter in parallel. Ammeter in series.

Where must a voltmeter be placed in a circuit?

One does NOT insert a voltmeter in a series cirtcuit...an ammeter can be inserted in series, though. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the source voltage and low(ground) side.

Where is Location of computer code readout on a 1993 eagle summit?

It is hooked to the right side of the fusebox underneath the left side of the steering column. A white plastic open enclosure. You need to use an analog voltmeter to watch the sweeps of the needle to read the codes. I have the LX wagon, and if you are looking at the enclosure with it still hooked to the fusebox, one connection needs to be made to the upper left pin, and the other connection from the voltmeter needs to be hooked to the lower right pin. If they are hooked up backwards, the needle on the voltmeter will peg itself to the right. If that happens, just switch the connections to where the needle will swing toward the right side of the meter. Slow sweeps are 10's for the code, and fast sweeps of the needle are 1's.


How is an ammeter converted to a voltmeter?

The ammeter is used in series, because you want to measure the current through a circuit. The voltmeter is used in parallel, because you want to measure the voltage across a circuit. If you were to place the voltmeter in series, no current would flow because of the relatively high impedance of the voltmeter. If you were to place the ammeter in parallel, you would create a short-circuit, due to the relatively low impedance of the ammeter.
